    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure

    • Atomic Number (Z) represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
    • Mass Number (A) represents the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

    Molecules

    • A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.
    • Diatomic molecules contain two atoms.
    • Polyatomic molecules contain more than two atoms.

    Ions

    • An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has a net positive or negative charge.
    • Cations are ions with a positive charge, formed when a neutral atom loses one or more electrons.
    • Anions are ions with a negative charge, formed when a neutral atom gains one or more electrons.
    • Monatomic ions contain only one atom.
    • Polyatomic ions contain more than one atom.

    Dalton's Atomic Theory

    • Elements are composed of atoms, which are the smallest unit of an element.
    • All atoms of a given element are identical.
    • Atoms of different elements are different.
    • Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine in fixed ratios.
    • Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms, not their creation or destruction.

    Rutherford's Model of the Atom

    • The atom's positive charge is concentrated in the nucleus.
    • The nucleus contains protons, which have a positive charge.
    • The nucleus is surrounded by electrons, which have a negative charge.

    Chadwick's Experiment

    • The discovery of the neutron, a neutral particle found in the nucleus.

    Molecular and Empirical Formulas

    • A molecular formula shows the exact number of atoms of each element in the smallest unit of a substance.
    • An empirical formula shows the simplest whole-number ratio of the atoms in a substance.

    Ionic Compounds

    • Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between cations and anions.
    • The formula of an ionic compound represents the simplest ratio of cations and anions that results in a neutral compound.
    • The sum of the charges on the cations and anions in each formula unit must equal zero.
    • Atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron shell.
    • Ionization energy is the energy required to remove one electron from a gaseous atom.
    • Electron affinity is the energy change that occurs when an electron is added to a neutral atom in the gaseous state.
    • Electronegativity is the relative ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

    Jari-jari Atom (Atomic Radius)

    • Atomic radius increases as you move down a group because the number of electron shells increases.
    • Atomic radius decreases as you move across a period because the nuclear charge increases, pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus.

    Energi Ionisasi (Ionization Energy)

    • Ionization energy decreases as you move down a group because the outermost electrons are further from the nucleus and easier to remove.
    • Ionization energy increases as you move across a period because the nuclear charge increases, making it more difficult to remove electrons.

    Afinitas Elektron (Electron Affinity)

    • Electron affinity generally increases as you move across a period because the added electron is closer to the nucleus and experiences a stronger attraction.
    • Electron affinity generally decreases as you move down a group because the added electron is further from the nucleus and experiences a weaker attraction.

    Kelektronegatifan (Electronegativity)

    • Electronegativity increases as you move across a period because the nuclear charge increases, attracting electrons more strongly.
    • Electronegativity decreases as you move down a group because the outermost electrons are further from the nucleus and experience a weaker attraction.
